Good for you guys. I’m proud of you Arizona!
Zamm005
Uhm... this was 2015. Didn’t Arizona vote for him in 2016?...
staktdex2718
nthensome
They, um, they voted for him in 2016. A year after he said this...
SpiderDetective
And then he pissed on John's corpse while it was still warm. Rubbed just enough people the wrong way
Emira17
So proud of AZ. Although, it was more than just Trump smearing McCain. AZ went out in FORCE to register ppl to vote this year.
Emira17
We had record turnout. More Arizonans voted absentee in 2020 than all AZ votes combined in 2016. Lots of young people and POC voted here
professionalConfirmologist
AP, NPR, & even FOX are declaring Arizona won, but CNN isn't. I'm confused by this.
lizardsbehere
Think I heard something about mail in ballots still needed to be counted. That they are more towards Trump than Biden.
eddbrowne
"late counts of early mailed votes" are 59pct Trump. Part of percentage trend.
SpiderDetective
They're probably double checking the math and waiting until ALL votes are counted, just to be sure

Really annoyed with how McCains last years played out for him, but my God, 1st time in 30 yrs. Trump losing Arizona is beautiful.

Arizona is going to be VERY close. Biden’s lead will shrink over the next day or two. I think Biden can hang in there but it’s CLOSE

First time heard this, I thought of this quote. “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”
IHaveAGuyForEverything
Just because he was captured doesn’t mean he wasn’t a hero, but you all know this. Just sharing. :)
cargys
Prolly the only time you'll see folks from AZ talk about how it's not hot outside lol. Gj y'all I'm proud
Doumdidoum
This is just perfect. His presidency ending in slow motion, leaving him to freak & scream a long while, then Arizona flipping for Biden.
PeedOnMyRug
RIP McCain.
CinderellaBaby
I love my state! Weed for everybody. I'm getting a plant :)
Cyandvai
I would have voted for McCain if not for his poor choice in running mate

Bye Donnie!! Enjoy prison!!

Yeah good thing I was born in Washington state because PA just failed in the most basic test...so I be telling people that I am from WA

I just think how scary it would be if trump was actually smart

Love the Arizona!!! Fvck off KENTUCKY and S. Carolina! Just secede again and get it over with already.

Well, Arizonians just replied:

This is great!

News: Arizona trending toward Trump as of 9pm eastern.
schizznatt
MSNBC and CNN are both saying AZ is too close to call. A new batch of votes came in that were 59% in favor of Trump.
sha13
NYT shows this:
boopityboopboop
Lots of peens

All shapes and forms, indeed
Morphumax101
It's not over yet. Still several hundred thousand votes to count right? Could still go Trump? :(
BeerAndChips
RandyRandalman
Saved.
DontLookBackInAnger
As much as I’d like an AZ Biden win, it’s far from over. Trump trails by 79k votes, with an estimated 551k uncounted.
MasterMookie
But its not a democracy its a republic. The count areas not total votes.
EngineerYo
May I defer you to Section 2 Article 1 of the Constitution, then to Section 1 Article 2 of the Constitution? You're literally wrong
EngineerYo
in case you're lazy: S2A1 says pres. elected by EC. states get delegates equal to house reps + senators, whose number is determined by S1A2
PieAndPunch
Last batch from Maricopa closed the gap a little bit. My butthole is so clinched right now
PerpetuityPhoto
Mail-in ballots HEAVILY favor blue, everywhere. This is gonna get interesting.
DontLookBackInAnger
Hoping
phallicies
Maybe I'm looking at different results but the AP already called arizona. biden won it.
Dionysus187
Well AP called it for Biden and they have something like a 99% success rate.
Ezzybells
except that the areas where there's still lots to count heavily favour Biden.
SeekyTheFox
Actually they do not. It favors trump based on all past elections. Just the initial mail in ballots helped Biden gain the lead.
Ezzybells
Maricopa was won by Trump, but Biden is currently ahead there by 99,000 votes. Over half the votes there to count are mail-in which favs Dem

78k votes with 500k votes left. He gained the lead due to mail in votes. But Trump is gaining due to in person votes. Currently at 63% gain.
vanfem
And they're mostly mailed in
llamallamadingd0ng
He was a fuck hero and a fuck decent human being. He was amazing and I respected him 10 fold. Virginia here btw

I'm from Virginia too what part?

Ah I love Staunton. Such a historic area, I’ve got some friends who live there.

underratedbombmechanic
The q people are losing their shit over all this.
Cheomesh
Where?
Broccoliisbest
Who saw that coming?
isetprettygirlsonfire
They lost their shot a long time ago.
UnicornsAndShenanigans
They got at least one into the House. Marjorie Taylor Green in Georgia.
PaintyGuys
I heard it was two but I didn’t hear names. Not the woman from Florida I hope
underratedbombmechanic
They really did. How can someone believe something with out evidence. Like come on people use your brain's.
JoJotarot
Cuz miss j told me I need to listen to evidence back in freshman science, then gave me an f. Screw yew miss j! Yew made me drop out/s
UnicornsAndShenanigans
They got at least one into the House. Marjorie Taylor Green in Georgia.
Cheomesh
This'll be something.
hangnail626
And now the GOP has more Qanon believers than African Americans in the House...
fredsneed
Could that be true for congress as a whole? Sounds worse if true.
Unclescam
He was a war hero because he was a valuable son of a senator and refused to leave until all the enlisted men got out first.
JaxJamesTheTenaciousTurtle
A sentiment Trump would never understand. He'd be the first to flee.
QuitLookinAtMineAim
"What was in it for him?" - Trump, literally
hardlyfatal
That "refused to leave until the enlisted men got out first" is why he's a hero.
keenidiot
Yeah I have a lot of issues with McCain but his war record isn't one of them.
TheElusiveEnchilada
Also known as a hero.
AdelesEx
He was a war hero because he fought for everything youre not, Trump
AdelesEx
He is* a war hero ...
Gram2021
There's a really interesting drunk history about the freedom of those POWs.
VonLiptonSchtein
I thought you meant leave to go over, and was confused why that made him good. He sounds like he was a truly good guy though
EnterPlayer3
Eh, close. Admiral.
Waldbern
Admiral, son of an admiral.
scooter950
I think his dad has a ship named after him. Not sure what class though.
zerovanity59
Son and grand son of admirals. This is why a ship is already named after him. It was named after his Father and Grandfather, now all three.
k4FoodSmasher
Yes. And he flew early American fighter jets which were death traps. IRC they were outmatched by the Soviet jets at the time. Huge balls.
Cheomesh
The A-4E Skyhawk wasn't that bad as I understand it.
NursePaulFlowers
I didn't know that. Wow. Also, he really was the last of the decent republicans america had.
Skywatcher16
yup. didnt agree with his politics all the time, but i could agree to disagree when i did. now? its all authoritarian scum.
OverlyOpinionated
I thought imgur liked the Governator
Doumdidoum
Mitt Romney went from shitty to decent to stalwart though.
SugaryBonemeal
Nope, he was not a decent man. Back when he was a soldier maybe, but he spent the last 30 years pissing on the country.
CheesecakePi
Federally... yeah, probably. You can still find some decent ones at state or local levels, occasionally.
neeks64
MD governor is INCREDIBLE. Rock on, Hoagie boy!
NursePaulFlowers
My governor baker is a pretty decent dude. Mass.
ThinkingAG
… If you live outside of Boston. Baker hates public transit and comes up with absurd arguments to defund it.
NursePaulFlowers
MBTA needs to take care of it's original issues before expanding on a bad system.
MadFistWilly
That's good to hear. We are, after all, just people at our core.
NursePaulFlowers
So profound
DragonVet
He was also a POW for 5.5 years, survived torture that left him permanently disfigured, and never told ‘em shit.
SendNudis
The hotel he was held in is now a museum that is really bizarre. It shows pictures of the POWs enjoying Xmas etc. Vietnam really made me
MicroChannelMaster
IIRC, the "Christmas" celebration was staged and recorded to make us think they treated their POWs well.
couchcaster
It, uh, was not an actual hotel. I've been there, it was a shitty colonial prison.
SendNudis
Ya, that’s right. The nickname was Hanoi Hilton - to minimize the badness. It’s been a bit for me. I was there 6-7 years ago. It wasn’t a

Nice place.

Realize the truth is something different than what both sides were taught, but McCain was still a stand up guy and a hero!

SendNudis
Also, man I loved Vietnam. I spent 2 months going south to north and was so in awe of the people, the culture, the food, the beauty.
peelmybanana
Helped us defeat the imperialist Americans”. Also, not all the Vietnamese people are over the war, a good portion still do not like 2/
blueipDriver
Also John was very Civilized during the campaign against Obama. An actual gentleman that congratulated an opponent when he lost.
Cheomesh
I *almost* voted for him in '08, but his last debate came across as a bit pleading and I went with Ron Paul for college-age-freethinker pts.
UncleVenoM
The sooner Trump is out the sooner we can try to get back to that and start healing as a country. It will take time.
whyexactly
And corrected his own supporters who believed lies about obama
Jakesonyou
An Arizonan everyone was proud of and one of the most bipartisan politicians of our time.
billdozer86
I'm a Democrat, but respected him. Class act.
PearjuiceATX
Easily the most bipartisan, and as a liberal vet I respect the hell out of him for that and for standing by his brothers in arms while a POW
ac304104
Disagreed with him much of the time but I did respect the man. If the GOP was still backing candidates like McCain we'd all be better off.
BennyGaga
Until he bent the knee to the TeaParty and Palin. Someone gave him an ultimatum that he complied with. could easily been pres any other time
CommsAreDown
It's a shame. He would've been great had he a different running mate in different circumstances
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
You know darn well the Republicans were banking on Hillary in 08 and freaked out when it was Obama
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
The ultimatum was a presidential push, but instead of Hillary Clinton he went against Obama. The republican party panicked 1/2
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
And threw Palin on the ticket as a spunky wildcard. At the time, we thought she was the dumbest republican ever.
EveryGOPAccusationIsActuallyAnAdmission
We were sweet summer children
mrtweeter04
Hindsight eh?
FilthyEarther
PalinIs why I didn’t vote for him. He was a great man otherwise.
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
I remember the time he corrected someone for calling 44 a muslim.

44?

Jesus christ that lady saying that had a skull filled with rocks. Someone told me hes an Arab and I believe them because they said so.
AmActuallyACat
Sad that being called a muslim was an insult

It was even more than that. He corrected her, and stated that he was a good decent man that just had different views on leading the nation.

I really love Phoenix. So beautiful. I’ve only lived in cities where I didn’t have to drive, so I don’t, so can’t move there :(
